There's just something about "The Dollar Store." (When I was a kid, it was the Ben Franklin store; when my mother was a kid, it was the five and dime. Inflation. But I digress...) It kind of draws us into the wonders of what you can do with just one George Washington.
It would be nice to be a huge-selling author and get rich. (Well, since by the standards of most of the world, and a good chunk of Americans we are already "rich," maybe I should say richer? Although I'm looking with dismay at our economy and future inflation... But again, I digress.)
The point of my first book was always to get a message out. Some hope and light; some encouragement to every reader to let God use you in radical and wonderful ways, without any regard to the numerous pre-scripted roles and expectations around us. Breaking even would be nice. (Not even close yet.) Turning a profit - and doing interesting things with that profit - would be even nicer. But it was never the main objective. The deal was, I always wanted to write this book, and one-too-many people (you know who you are, Perry) had said, "You should write a book!"
So. All that to say, new prices for the book. The ebook versions, on Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble Nook, are now 99 cents. My thought is that that price makes it an easy impulse buy. In the strange and wonderful economy of ebooks, I still make a few cents. The new price for the paperback version via Amazon, when it percolates through their system later this week, will be $5.99.
I hope you buy. Even more, I hope you read, are blessed, comment, interact, and of course tell all your friends.
Peace,
JC
